Thx so much for the update. Please keep them coming. Watchful want to make if this report? Sounds like this guy had the same type of hernia ad you and kang handles it with a 3.5 cm incision? I think dr kang takes the lead again as the go to surgeon.

Herniated. Thanks for weighing in. I think you go to far here but respect your knowledge. Dr kang has been the kindest of any surgeon I have interacted with. He clearly seems motivated to do the best repair possible. That said I am curious about who you would go to if you needed a tissue repair. Over mesh removal skin. Few docs will do that…[Read more]

Watchful. Yes without a doubt. He is known as the unicorn on the robot. Very humble guy. But what I like is what other surgeons say. They all universally say he is the best there is. Andy Elliott. Yes it will take a visit. Then several months. He will want a CT. If you come you can stay with me. I will pick you up from the airport as needed.…[Read more]

Dr Andreas Koch impressed as well

Thx watchful. And if you send me your pay pal I can send you the reward on kang. I so wish I had seen your many posts before making my disastrous decision. It all makes so much sense. So can I ask you one more thing. Given all you know is it your opinion that Dr Conze is the best bet for a future tissue repair all things considered? His website…[Read more]

Watchful. You really are a genius. Could anytime have been more thorough? How is it that I know at least 20 guys meshed up with no issues. Mostly open mesh too. You and I studied this like crazy and still blew it. Very frustrating. I guess it’s just Korea is not accessible for information. Is it your view that Dr Conze is the best surgeon in t…[Read more]

It’s so hard to trust any of these surgeons. Particularly the US surgeons who wildly embellish their statistics. But I challenge anyone to find me a negative kang review. If you can I will pay pal you 100 bucks.

I frequently beat myself up for double meshing …but they options for tissue repair are so few…and my experiences and experiences of others with US tissue surgeons really scared me off….shall i review?

Peterson -probably my first choice because he advertises so much..and i was ignorant…canceled my first consult…came an hour late to my…[Read more]

Thanks so much William. I wish there were more posters like you and watchful. This board is pretty dead but it should be hopping. I recall was looking for a comparison between conze and kang. I have not seen conze mentioned much here. Koch and wiese more so. I guess kang is still in the lead. I don’t thing towfigh will interview him b…[Read more]

Wachful…you went to one of the best surgeons there i trust…and still got a bad result….i bet they brought out their best for rand paul…the shouldice procedure just seems so destructive…it seems like a real set up for chronic pain. The wierd thing is lichtenstein open is supposed to be the biggest risk for pain…but i havent met a soul…[Read more]

I am interested in any feedback on this as well…I thought muschawek was out of the repair business…And i continue to look for the best tissue surgeon in the world.

Watchful thx per the usual. Yes my experience with yunis was the same. He definitely did not brag or exaggerate his experience. You advised that you would not go to shouldice again. You really did a perfect analysis of your options. For me the cremaster cutting and steel wire stuff scared me off shouldice. Plus at the time they were enforcing…[Read more]

Dr. Kang…many thanks for your quick and thorough responses…you convey more information in your alleged “not good enough” english than most fluent english speaking doctors. God bless you for treating us like human beings/

Thx dr kang for your always prompt responses. Others are posting here that you cut the genitofemoral nerve as part of the Kang repair. Do you cut any nerves as part of your repair? Will the fact that I had double mesh removal impact the strength of your repair at all? Will you ever offer paid consultations via zoom? The German surgeons are…[Read more]
